PITH OF THE PRESS COMMENTS.

THE SULTAN CLIMBS DOWN.

"TIMES."

We are glad to learn that, after not a little pressure, the Sultan of Moroooo has given full satisfaction to France in the affair of the Algerian Bu Mzian. He would have gained nothing by any further attempt to refuse it The information we have published has made it plain that the French Government was perfectly prepared to take all legitimate measure of coercion, if they were still needed to bring the Saltan to reason. Those measures would have shown the Moors unmistakably which is the Power that has predominant interests in Morocco, and is also best able to protect them. Abdul Aziz, however, has yielded just in time. We may assume from his surrender that be realises it was quite in France's power to compel him, and that, in view of the precarious state of his authority throughout the Shereefian Empire, he has has thought it wiser not to risk an open humiliation. Both in form and in substance he now satitfies the French demands. . . All European Powers concerned in Morocco are indebted to France for taking prompt action, because they all had an interest at stake. If the Sultan's unwarranted claim over Ba Mzian had passed unchalleged, he would probably have been emboldened to attack the rights of the Mohamedan subjects of other Powers. The prestige of Europe as a whole, and the safety not merely of native but of white subjects of other Governments residing in Morocco, would certainly have been compromised by acquiescence on the part of France.

"STANDARD."

We congratulate the French Government on the coolness and steadiness with which they have carried the business through. It is to he hoped that this success will be followed by and friendly adjustment of the remaining differences of opinion between Paris and Berlin. The mission of Dr. von Rosen, who has just arrived in the French capital, shows that Germany has no longer any desire to make a quarrel over Morocco. It is already difficult to realise the nervousness which was aroused in Europe,only a few weeks ago, by the Kaiser's visit to Tangier. Probably he did not understand, in the first instance, how much mischief he might have caused if he had persisted in the policy of ostentatious interference between France and the Saltan. A very brief study of Moroccan affairs has convinced him that all Europeans must to some extent stand and work together. "GLOBE." The Sultan only stood out against the wishes of France so long as he perceived that he could play off the jealousy of one nation against the other ; but the whole system under which Europeans live in the Mohamedan dominions would become impossible were each petty ruler in Africa or Asia able to count successfully on the want of union among the Great Powers. The Cabinet at Berlin, in fact, were placed in a false position : every step they took towards assisting the Sultan of Morocco seemed an act against the general polity of civilisation. Bat it would be idle to deny that there are still elements of danger in the situation : it has yet to be decided where the Conference meets, and there are many grave questions to come before it which will no doubt, give rise to disputes and differences of opinion.

"EVENING STANDARD."

The Sultan of Morocco has thought better of it We believed he would. At the eleventh hour he has saved M. St Rend Taillandier the trouble and expense of an unnecessary journey home by giving to France complete satisfaction for her wrongs. This is the Oriental way: to bargain with extreme deliberation until the customer shows signs of exhausted patience, and then to come quickly to terms. In this case the satisfaction is complete. Not only has the required apology been given and the required indemnity "presented," but the Shereefian Government will deem it its duty to see that similar breaches of treaties and customs shall not recur. The Moroccan Government had too exalted an idea of what might be gained by playing off one Power against another. It has now learned, let us hope, that the European nations are not yet so jealous as to take sides when the safety of their subjects in an alien land is at stake.

MANCHESTER GUARDIAN."

The Saltan had, as we pointed out, put himself so clumsily in the wrong that German influence could not support him, and was pro- | bably exerted to bring him to reason. It is to : he hoped that no further complication will precede or impede the International Conference on Moroccan affairs. The arrival in Paris yesterday of Dr. Rosen, Germany's new Minister to Morocco, shows that the German Government is at last expediting the arrangements. French opinion seems uniformly favorable to the appointment of Dr. ROMO, who is thought reliable and levelheaded j and it will be very glad to see the last of Herr von twttinboeh, the head of the present German Mission in Fez, to whom so many diplomatic alarums and excursions have been due.

"TEMPS."

The "Temps" observes that the official doc-ument announcing the apology and reparation given by the Morocoan Government consecrates the complete success of the legitimate claims made by France., The Bn Mzian incident, which had nothing to do with the Franco- German negotiations, is, therefore, disposed of. Its prolongation would not have compromised those negotiations, from which it was essentially distinct. Its settlement will nevertheless have a favorable influence on the serenity of the negotiations. "We said yesterday that the time had come for Germany to manifest more good humour and cordiality towards France, if she wished public opinion in our country not to entertain certain doubts as to her intentions, Prince Radolin and Dr. Rosen . . . brought to call the attention of the Imperial Government to this point. As a matter of fact, the details which remain to be cleared up are chiefly among those in which Germany can prove to us her desire to consider our rights." "SIECLE." The "Sifcole" and the "Matin" express the opinion that the same firmness should have been shown in an earlier crisis, in which case they consider an equally satisfactory issue would have been seoured.

RIOTING IN TOKIO.

"TELEGRAPH."

Tokio is under martial law; peace is being celebrated by bloodshed and riot The telegrams which we publish this morning, giving a- vivid narrative of the grave disorders that have broken out in the Japanese capital will be read in England with genuine amazement and regret. The marvellous self-restraint of the Japanese throughout the war had led us to expect better things of Tokio than this. They had provided the Western world with the spectacle of a people acting together in perfect unity, animated by a single purpose, and quickened by a splendid, burning patriotism. Their obedience to authority was wonderfhl,not alone in reply to the call for men, and in the extension of the age for military service, but in snob matters as the extreme reticence of the military and naval chiefs, and the keeping by an entire nation of secrete which might have benefited the enemy. The Government had only to speak and their word was law. Never did there seem to be a people at once so patient and so brave, with almost superhuman qualities of self-restraint. The events of the last two or three days mast inevitably bring them down to mere human proportions again. There is alloy even in the fine gold of Japan.

DAILY NEWS."

After all, the patriotism of Japan, which almost amounts to a religion, has now to face a strain which is quite as exacting as that of the battlefield. To this day. Great Britain is hardened with the debt which was accumulated during our straggle with France, a hundred years ago. Japan has to shoulder the same knapsack. From the military and naval stand point,she is secure, but she lacks what Lord Roseberyi called "the moneybags," which must always be the real foundation of every line of defence. Her credit stands high, hut she will need it all if she is to obtain the capital required for her national needs and commercial expansion. Her position is, in fact, like that of the United States a generation ago, when outside capital had to be called in to meet a hinge war liability and to develop industries.

"CHRONICLE."

Japan is a wonderful country, but it cannot be so uniquely favored as to contain no turbulent Jingoes. While the life and death struggle was in progress, there was no scope for their activity in the streets the whole nation was bent upon prosecuting the war, and even in the hours of victory there was no noisy exuberance. But now that the war has not been continued to the bitter end, the day of the Jingoes has come, and they have gone down into the streets to shout, and stamp and fume. Such seems to have been the originating source of the disturbance. It was aggravated by the action of the police in refusing, access to a- public park. We may think of the affair as a sort of mixture of a political meeting against the Governments of a shooting Jingo demonstration, and of a Trafalgar-square or Hyde Bark riot. There is a touch that will come home to Londoners, too, in one of the incidents. When the Guards appeared on the scene, "the crowd received them good nataredly." So long an this good nature is shown in a popular disturbance, things are not so serious as they seem. It would be unfair, however, to attribute all the discontent which the peace has caused in Japan to unreasoning Jingoism.

"WESTMINSTER GAZETTE."

Tokio is not the only city with a mob, and it looks as if the mob had determined to Exploit the agitation against the peace terms— An agitation which up to a point seem to have been orderly and legitimate, however regret- fable and embarrassing to the Japanese Government, -The danger, of course, is bit anything Which takes place should waken or quality the good opinion which Japan has earned for herself, as the result of her valour, efficiency, and patriotic conduct during the war. She has been engaged in justifying herself to the nations, she had gone far to rebuke those critics who declared that her becoming a great Eastern Power could only bi a danger to civilisation as we conceive it in the West The war gives her no greater asset than the good opinion she has fairly won for herself as the result of her skill and correctitude.

THE "NICHI NICHI SHIMBUN",

How can the Government retain its dignity in the presence of such rioting. The committee which organised the meeting have a good standing in society, and are not irresponsible agitators. The police exceeded their authority with a result derogatory to the honorand dignity of Tokio. Popular indignation has been set on fire, and the police are finally unable to keep order. If the conditions continue, the contagion may spread,, and innocent people and their property be damaged.

"HOCHI SHIMBUN."

The "Hochi Shimbun" deplores such scenes in the capital of a victorious esaatay. It say that Tokio have been converted into a St Petersburg, and urges the Emperor to refuse to refase to ratify the Peace Treaty. The "JijiShimpo" says that such a deplorable phenomenon in the oity where the Emperor resides, is highly significant

The"Aftonbladel,"one of the leading Swedish journals, in an artiole urging, as a necessity of permanent peace between Sweden and Norway, that the fortresses on the frontier between the two countries should he demolish- ed, say a: Up .to the present Sweden has shown herself willing to concede to Norway's wishes by self-denyjngly sacrificing poincteof considerable importances To that confederate, who has broken the bonds of union, Sweden has offered her services in the work of settling the un- happy dispa to. Thereby Sweden demands merely one sine qua non, and one which exclusively contemplates good. This one condi- tion is : take away the bayonet direoted towards us. The people of Sweden only desire peace,and i this is threatened at the frontier by the for- tresses there existing. As a practical stop1 towards safety, and in order to obtain peace in this direction, the Swedish Riksdag unani- moufily demands the removal of these hostile works. By demolishing the frontier forts Norway no doubt makes a sacrifice, but the advantage she gains is double. In the first place she obtains the confifence of the neighbouring people, and their reliance on her urpright and peaceful, intentions regarding the future. Farther, she will be entitled to the respect of the whole: world for the sobriety and wisdom she has shown. Herein lies the ideal and profoundly : moral interpretation of the question. Disarming the forts is not enough. War— nay, the danger of war—breaks every compact.' Then the forts may suddenly be rearmed, and thus we shall find ourselves in the same position as of old. Only demolishment of the forts j can be regarded as a definite solution. This done, no new controversies on this question | can arise. Let it, once again, be dearly and emphatically declared that the erasing of the' fortifications is a Scandinavian demand in order to secure Scandinavian peace.

May the barriers constructed by the hand of discord fall, and may the Swedish and Norwegian peoples, in peaceful pursuit, thrive and live on either side of the ruins.

LEADS TO YEARS OF KIDNEY SUFFERING

STAB LIKE PAINS IN THE BACK, DIZZINESS, BLURRED SIGHT, URINARY TROUBLES, ETU.

46, Madden's Buildings, Cork, Ireland.

Ten years ago I caught a bad chill in the kidneys, through getting drenched in a storm. For three months after, I was so ill that Ip couldn't do a stroke of work. I was nearly paralysed with the awful pains across my back, and in my loins. The secretions from the kidneys were highly-coloured and unnatural I lost my appetite, and the sight was blurred at times. I also had bad attacks of dizziness, and if I attempted to turn, the stab-like pains in my back were beyond description. How to lie in my bed I did not know, for the grinding pains in my back gave me no peace or rest I always felt tired and fagged out, and in later years I became wasted away to a mere shadow.

Eight months or so ago I began using Doan's Beckache Kidney Pills, and finding them doing me good, I kept on with them. Within four weeks I was as strong and well as I had ever been, and there's been no return of my illness from that day to this. I gladly give my consent to your publishing these facts, and I would conclude by wishing every sufferer the success I have had with your medicine.

Backache is really kidney-ache. It isn't the back itself that aches, but the kidneys, which lie just beneath the small of the back. When the back is weak and lame-when it "cricks" if you turn or stoop sharply-when it burns, or spoils your sleep give your kidneys help at once in Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and see how quickly your back will grow strong and well, and how your general health will improve.
